port of lampedusa on board a fishing boat now they received an angry reception from locals. here we're here for peace we just want the illegal migrants to go back because we're fed up tonight when produce assess enough. well local government officials in lampedusa are saying the island can cope no more with the sheer number of people that are arriving on their shores in fact the mayor of lampedusa spoke to r.t. saying this he wants to see a strike a general strike on the island to try and draw attention to what's going on in a situation he describes as overloaded and as you go through. the situation in lampedusa is disastrous in the sense that we have a full reception center in addition to the norm because we have 1260 people and then tonight there was a landing of 367 more people who can no longer be taken here they've been brought

to a facility made available by the church we always carry out our job with the total indifference of the italian government but here the problem is objective we not in a position to host small people all on saturday around 50 people were processed by the italian coast guard those migrants had been rescued from the mediterranean sea by the boat the luis michel. is the vessel it's funded financed by the street artist banksy skip it by the german captain. she is credited with rescuing least a 1000 people from the mediterranean sea between 20112017 but she was also charged with colluding with people. smugglers by the authorities and it's only in 2019 charges that she strongly denies however you look at the situation in the mediterranean though regarding migrants it doesn't look good we're seeing calls

from the united nations and n.g.o.s operating in the area for the european union to do more and from member states to share the burden of migrants that are currently arriving on the shores of lampedusa other italian islands what we are saying though is the situation in lampedusa is really breaking point. the mayor of the tiny mediterranean island has said he fails abundant and the island feels abandoned by both the governments of italy and the european union are going to struggle for to what i say that nothing has been done to solve the problem

of migrants because in italy we speak only and exclusively from the point of view of differing factions but this moment is more of an electoral campaign than a solution to the problem we have 2 factions one that shouts yes and the other that shouts no but they never set out on paper how to solve the problem and therefore the problem both in easily and in europe is very serious we need to face up to it in a radical way but will continue to witness everything that is happening on the island i don't understand why transfers are not carried out with military ships what are these military ships for given that italy is not at war with anyone europe has done nothing for lampedusa on the problem of migrants no one listens and there is a deafening silence from the european and italian institutions even those who are. tasked with taking an interest in the phenomenon of basically left alone well numbers of migrants crossing the mediterranean is continuing steadily it's a perilous crossing at the best of times as we head in to the autumn and winter

months it's only going to become more and more dangerous and require more and more people to muttley being rescued from the waters of the mediterranean this latest surge in sea crossings to italy comes 5 years after a landmark speech by german chancellor angela merkel on this exact date in 2015 she responded to concerns over the influx of migrants to europe with a message of optimism issues are going to enforce this and i say very simply germany is a strong country the attitude with which we approach these things must be we have achieved so much we can do it we can do it and when something stands in our way it has to be overcome it has to be worked on. according to official data almost 5000000 people have applied for asylum in the e.u. and the past 5 years and leave france sweden and germany have taken in the largest numbers and germany has accepted more asylum seekers than any other nation in the

past decade that's according to the un refugee agency we spoke with peter bice from from the alternative for germany party he believes the inflow of migrants has been devastating for his country. everybody knows that the policy wasn't success if the target was not to destroy the german society we are facing a very massive rise of criminality. committed by didn't ignorance look at the balls the breaks it was caused from big because of this migration prizes and because of the migrants quality seal the european union saw and breaks it is the beginning of the end of the you so does this was a big big problem and you see also the pensions now between countries in the european union between entirely on one side and germany on the other side. between the countries of the group on one side and germany on the other

side said this this problem is making european union falling apart. french president emmanuel mccrone is paying his 2nd official visit this month to lebanon is pushing for reform at a time a political turmoil in beirut following the recent deadly explosion r.t. charlotte even skate reports. well this is president marcos 2nd visit to lebanon in a month will it be another photo opportunity or will he be able to achieve something concrete his visit tot already being planned to celebrate a 100 years since the creation of the lebanese state of course it comes under the cloud of those explosions that through this city. when he was just a few days off the top lost his visit was equally. criticized but some saying he was still acting as if france was a protectorate over levon on president carter's outlined what he thinks needs to

happen in the country he's talking about reform and we construction he says an interim government needs to be put in place that needs to be an audit of the country's central bank and he's called for fresh elections otherwise he sees the worst of the country if we let go and if we somehow leave it in the hands of the depravity of regional power was it will be civil war as well as the defeat of what is the very identity of lebanon that lebanon on loan has had issues politically economically and socially those exclusions back in august exposed to the rest of the with a $190.00 people killed thousands injured and tens of thousands of people displaced after that visit spearheaded a video conference to raise money for the stricken states and she $150000000.00 pledged from says foreign minister has said that 8 will come only with strings

attached we will not sign a blank check for a government that does not implement reforms that everyone knows are needed everyone knows what has to be dealt with the humanitarian and senator emergency for appropriation that is deeply needed and a political emergency if we want this country to hold together the risk today is the disappearance of lebanese politics in. no one is a political minefield this is a country that has political representation for the 18 different sex. in the country so consensus between those is sometimes no easy task however the house because just welcome from some political factions for macro speeds when. we go regards to naming the prime minister forming the government so we will be co-operative contributed to pulling the country out of the town vacuum we have always rejected against and. will has and its allies hold

a majority in the parliament in lebanon also gives you a sense of how important that encouraged this particular party and these remarks suggest that it is open to dialogue what president michel is doing by including has been in these talks is something that essentially new with a western leader has done that is openly to the party politics in lebanon is a moveable feast though so if it seems that france is demanding too much or if it's taking too much of the role as a previous colonial power these talks could quickly. present not go on has a very difficult path to tread it is a thin line between being seen to be in lebanon and helping the lebanese people and that interfering in the internal politics of the country earlier we spoke with french attorney who says external calls for reform in lebanon are unlikely to be successful. french presidents like to show the world its population that france is

still a superpower that's why people call the. knuckle they are compared to long but for people that are against france or against the west then the point of your. france as. of course colonial superpower all comes and wants to say he worked for western countries foreign countries like great britain let's say you say no it's a france trying to help. a country that has a lot of problems as usual as they are who saved the people of lebanon and not the gov look at them while it's the same because they go there for a day all interest and love for the people of i'm not sure but i don't think it's going to change a lot of lebanon's a politics and the economy color struggle. china has introduced new restrictions on tax exports and

a move that could walk the sale of tech tax operations in the u.s. several american firms have launched bids for the popular chinese app but under the new rules but chinese tech that includes speech modeling and voice recognition can only be exploited if approved by beijing artists aska tell looks at why companies are vying to buy an app that until recently was the focus of spying allegations. law i insert new thing on stealing if you believe the u.s. these are china's favorite hopis that after years of targeting our industries and stealing our intellectual property you should know there is enormous risk risk to america's national security as well the theft of american jobs and wealth. has come to an end and deny the chinese communist party access to the private information that belongs to america but in a twist only 2020 could provide it's no beating he's getting touchy about its tack such an technologies will not be subject to export bans or restrictions meaning

they have to be green that by the chinese government someone who would be doing a 15 2nd synchronized jig to celebrate this news byte daunts take talks parent company because all day a rough couple of months involving volatile and legal disputes talk about of an executive order we're looking at it we may be bending to bear that the use of tech talk by all federal employees i don't mind if others microsoft or somebody else a big company whose security company very very american company via the chinese company has to sell off its u.s. operations because donald trump said so on because there's 100000000 users new u.s. can't be bought and into that dominance the slip sinking free wild mess and given its basically a direct line to millions of young people right for our ads research and data collection which don't worry is totally acceptable what america not the chinese

communist party staring at my facebook take talks about us tech giants chomping at the bit i mean who wouldn't want to piece of this pie. bizarre as it may seem right that is a gold mine and for some it really has washed its weight in gold tight juggernauts microsoft and oracle said to be leading the race in a potential deal i don't want him to take out a room at $22.00 thoughts he $1000000000.00 bill to don's the way to ownership of the outrageously successful op i knew not what gas he was also eyeing up

a piece so it's pa are you were is microsoft or somebody else or it was the chinese what what the prices the united states could should get a very large percentage of that price and we think we deserve to have a big percentage of that price coming to america coming to the treasury while chumps teaming take top treasury may not be such a still thing if i don't find it still roadblocks by beijing's new regulations even truman ties teenagers from new york to california straight to best form was their identity either way it must be sad for a naing snooping and stealing up to talk show and tell us how the knot of supes was and that willing to splash all kinds of casts to get it into bad you know there are many laws that are that have already been passed and so several more there are that are working their way through congress and certainly will be signed by the president that are banning chinese apps and chinese tech products but i think in

one sense china wants to get ahead about it's embarrassing and so you know by passing their own ban on sales. it's a way of regaining some of their national face what we're seeing now from the chinese side might prevent tech talk from selling to an american company like microsoft or wal-mart they see this as an attempt by the u.s. to basically force a fire sale of cutting edge attack that undercuts the value of the chinese companies but also gives chinese our u.s. companies access to technology that they don't have. coming up the 2020 race to the white house is heating up with the main candidates vying desperately for black votes a look at the latest poll standings after the short break. one

almost shows seem wrong. but old rules just don't call. me. yet to shape out these days to come out ahead and in detroit because the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy foundation let it be an arms race. and spearing dramatic development is only going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

welcome back the u.s. presidential election is looming and with both the republicans and the democrats having now held their conventions the latest poll shows donald trump gaining a little ground on joe biden who's lead though still looks comfortable both candidates have lately been actively trying to woo the black community. because i have a great vice president at my side. senator kamel irish she knows about all the obstacles thrown in the way of so many in our country women black women black america south asian americans. the left out on the left behind and i have done more in 3 years for the black community than joe biden has done in 47 years. when i'm reelected the best is yet to come. bines efforts to win black votes

include picking comal harris as his running mate she is the 1st black woman on a major party's presidential ticket by now also gave an interview to rapper carty b. however some of the things he's been saying have decidedly missed the mark. you've got a moral question about showing if you have a problem figuring out where you're from a or from and you a black unlike the african-american community with notable exceptions the latino community is incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different settings buttons approach to criminal justice has also alienated some in the black lives matter movement who want to see the police to fund his policies would see an increased police presence in some black communities as well human rights activists. says this all gives the impression that biden doesn't really get black voters. it was quite clear that the. troll forces.

targeting black voters they believe that some sectors of the black population is in fact in play that is that they can be persuaded to support. and it may be successful because of the fact that the democrats don't appear to be offering anything different than the campaign that they then is in 2060 minute reasons that to support a draw is you a black person that particular view like a member of the working class but they also made it raises that use give you a vote to the democrats if you are a black person and in particular a member of the black working class so you know this notion that by and understand is black folks that he has some kind of understanding of what blake people need in particular the black working class is never sledded in his policies. and

his positions over the course of his 47 years in congress. italy's tourism industry is reeling from the blow it's been dealt by the pandemic with business down 70 percent research suggests some 50000 companies are at risk of shutting up shop while both that stay open are struggling to recruit strap. we have big problems finding not only qualified but also unqualified personnel when we interview people for a place at a restaurant we find those who compare the offer with 380 euro citizens income despite us proposing a permanent or fixed term contract nobody in our sector wants to exploit workers but when we offer a contract from 802-1200 euro they tell us they prefer to stay at home and the government with these subsidies is creating a system of people who sits on the couch and do nothing all day people who don't

want to work because they get the same money if you have 2 children and a low income the state gives you almost 1200 euros a month why should you work taking the same money in this welfare system is frightening i have employees in my shop who tell me why don't you fire me so i work illegally and get 2 years of benefits there are people who now come to have luxury dinners and pay for them with the subsidy card i can tell you that we're really mad it has become a credit card donated by the state and loaded every month. unfortunately there are ways to get resources from somewhere else some people decide not to work and do something else in our hotel sector went into crisis to find people who want to work and i'm talking not only about professionals but also about those who just start working i believe citizens income must be completely reviewed it shouldn't be about passive support the truthers about making people work this summer many hotels have

opened without customers here keeping system workers and therefore lose a lot of money. italy is unemployment rate is now at 9 percent one of the highest in the european union as of now i will earnings can claim these so-called citizens and clam up to $780.00 euros a month to qualify you have to be an e.u. citizen or have lived in the country for 10 years we've got reaction to the scheme from locals. but i mean the lack of stuff for hotels and restaurants is becoming quite critical this isn't as income is creating many problems many people prefer to take the money stayed home and don't work many people also take the money while not actually needing it. it's clear that if restaurants or other companies believe that they can exploit workers then i disagree because it's clear that if a person has to grow for 12 hours and earn $600.00 euros a month he would probably stay at home and receive the citizens income. we must

start from the assumption that the citizens income has been badly managed in italy in germany they certainly manage the better. because these people are comfortable staying at home and earning this free salary while there are people who just want to work i believe the problem was created by our government and people obviously take advantage of it. the ecuadorian government and the international monetary fund have struck a new $6500000000.00 economic relief deal or the lifeline has prompted fears of more painful austerity measures ecuador has been in the group of an economic crisis for years now and the i.m.f. has helped prop it up financially with loans to secure them kyoto has had to slash funding for the public and health care sectors that critics say has left the country vulnerable during the pandemic it is among the hardest hit by cope at 19 in latin america.

and i think the everyone in the entire population had this corona virus but we did not have medical help because the doctors did not come here you know they are only in the city and we have to go and look for them so people use home remedies the way . in the hope you can you can't imagine how bad the hospitals were they didn't want to admit anyone else so instead they took my parents to kill me because my father and my mother both died there.

in principle receiving that sum of money for a country in crisis sounds like good news well did they believe that detail these agreement is not a free lunch for it whether it comes with the start on this or not these imposed by the i.m.f. which continues to promote these asteroids the story. these policies are raping how book on the contras economy as well as its health care system leading to systematic by lesions of the economic and social rights whether your constitution and the national protect. public anger over austerity it saw people take to the streets even during the pen demick students civil servants and police officers. are among those who took part in anti-government actions. against the i.m.f.

intervention needs reassessing. there you never really wanted to support it but they already. got these big following measures 1st it's will probably says this human rights of the conditions of its loans. impose a coast on that must these are sick there's including indigenous peoples must be absolutely. it should respect democratic processes for economic decision making it agreements must be negotiated transport. and these means refraining from exerting any undue influence over fiscal policy decisions in the country that's been your global news breakdown for now and that's all for me as well today but we're not you know neil will be here at the top of the hour with all the latest.
